Seattle, Washington Portrait and Wedding Photographer

From rugged coastline to alpine mountain adventures and all of the sprawling fields in between Washington has captured my heart from a very young age. The greater Seattle area offers a little bit of everything for everyone no matter what location you are looking for or how grand of an occasion. With my camera in hand I’m always looking for new adventures to continue making magic in all of the natural beauty that Washington State and the rest of our amazing world has to offer.

About Me

Capturing moments & preserving memories

There is nothing quite like the feeling of seeing the first flowers starting to bloom in Spring 💕 Glad this tree was in bloom at @ortingmanor for this beautiful April wedding!

While this rainy April wedding wasn't exactly what Kerri and Kevin had in mind for their special day it was still incredibly stunning with the lush, vibrant greens and the smell of spring in the air. We even got a few breaks in the drizzle that we co
